Chapter Twenty-Three: Tan's Twin Walls

"Brother, what's the situation?" Zhang Yaowu's eyes full of hope kept staring at him.

The three of you already knew that Wushan Dao had a relationship with it, and Tian Guanghua had long known that he had a close relationship with Xu Shiyou, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent. To the point where it goes. Seeing the casual attitude of Wushan and the old man on the phone, it seems that he doesn't have much respect for the old man. That shows that his own strength is more powerful than that of the old general, and everyone is now friendly with Wushan, and they are so excited that they can't do it.

Most of the dialogues on the phone were heard clearly, only the words of the most reluctant Xu Lao did not understand.

"These dogs, day," Wu Shan slammed his fist against the wall, a thin earthen wall, and mud and dust fell.

"What's wrong, Wushan?" Tian Guanghua thought that the old man lost his temper at Wushan.

"It's not our business," Wu Shan slowly shook his head: "They distorted the facts, saying that they were fighting with the locality. At first, the military was dissatisfied with Uncle Xu, thinking that he had done something wrong. ”

Wu Shan smiled awkwardly at the two local officials: "The two eldest brothers should also know that if there is a conflict between the local government and the troops, the military is very tough and never bows their heads. If you think about it, even if someone is killed, the army will directly pull it back to the court-martial, and it will be nothing for you. Mei Xiaolin wants to make big things small, the key is that they shouldn't mess with me. ”

Zhang Yaowu and Lin Mingda glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement. When there is a dispute between the military and the locality, it is generally very strong. This time, as before, they themselves were a little desperate, hanging there and not asking. The old general Xu Shiyou, naturally, can go straight to the sky, and the matter has evolved into Xu Lao and the Mei family's wrist wrestling, how can they be unhappy? It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the earth-headed snake, not to mention that this is not a ground-headed snake, it is at least a dragon.

"Come, brother," Lin Mingda made a color, and the two of them raised their wine glasses together: "No matter what the result is, we accept your affection." ”

Wu Shan glanced at Lin Mingda in surprise, what are you messing up with, do you have a dime to do with you?

"That, Brother Wushan, Lao Tian," Lin Mingda smiled embarrassedly: "The two of us are also relatives, and most people don't know what to do." My father is also a member of the Zhang family, and Brother Wu is the son of my uncle. ”

"Please, two brothers," Zhang Yaowu arched his hand: "Don't leak out of this relationship." ”

What kind of bullshit is this, Wushan is too lazy to pass it on. As for Tian Guanghua, I don't know how long Lu Dao will stay here, and he is not a person of many words. You see, he has been in victory for so long, and he basically doesn't have any dealings with local cadres. In the future, it is even more unlikely that he will have any intersections with local people. And everyone is linked by Wushan, which can be regarded as a faction of people. At the risk of offending Wushan, to spread these trivial things, how big is the head of Political Commissar Tian!

"Lao Lin, don't do it," Wu Shan took his cup and prepared to drink it for him, but it turned out to be a little bit of a foundation.

"Brother Wushan," Zhang Yaowu was embarrassed to look at Wushan: "He is not strong enough to drink, so he ......"

"It doesn't matter," Wu Shan really didn't say politely, he didn't drink enough in his previous life and suffered a lot: "If you can't drink, we won't force it." Brothers, just have fun together. Brother Tian would never blame him. ”

"Haha Eat more vegetables, don't drink the rest of the wine, and the three of us will divide it. ”

There was a knock on the door. Wushan had already found out that Zhang Acai was guarding outside, so it could only be him.

"Uncle Tian," he really heard the conversation inside outside, and at first he kept calling Political Commissar Tian.

Because he didn't know what to call Wushan, he only called Shimoda Guanghua and nodded at Wushan.

"Ah Cai," Zhang Yaowu's face was very serious: "From now on, this is your Uncle Wushan." ”

"Don't mind," Wu Shan hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Let's pay our own hands, everyone will call me Ah Shan." He is older than me, call me uncle, did I promise to hit five thunderstorms? Wushan immediately stopped it.

"It's all family, it doesn't matter." Tian Guanghua looked at the two young people: "Do you have to make your uncle seem closer?" ”

"Alas, Uncle Tian, I was looking for you." Ah Cai borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "The people from the armed forces department have brought two children here. ”

"Quick, Brother Acai, bring it up." Wushan didn't wait for Tian Guanghua to answer, and ordered directly.

This pair of children grew almost tall. They followed Qiang Zhenghua and didn't dare to raise their heads.

All four of them stopped their chopsticks and looked at Tan Chuanji's children. On Qiang Zhenghua's back, there was also a tattered back basket with some shabby clothes in it.

"Lose it," Tian Guanghua could see that Wushan was not ordinary rich, and he would definitely not give these children these things in the future.

The two children had frightened looks on their faces, and the little girl directly dragged the basket on her back.

"Brother Tian, don't scare the children." Wu Shan smiled bitterly: "Qiang Zhenghua, don't change the two masters, you can send the back basket to the guest house." Sit down and eat something together? ”

"No, chief!" Qiang Zhenghua knows the rules very well, and he knows that there is nothing to do with him here. As he spoke, he nodded and went down. The little girl was about to follow, but the little boy grabbed her.

The little girl looked at the little boy suspiciously, and he just gave the other party an affirmative look.

"Ah Cai, bring a towel and get a basin of hot water." Wu Shan walked over and took the children's hands.

He felt both hands tremble slightly.

What kind of two children are these, I don't know how many days I haven't washed my face, and I am dusty. The feet were barefoot, and the hands and feet were full of chilblains and scabies. The little boy's hair is all up to his neck, and in this era when children are all hairy and bald, it is very eye-catching. The little girl's hair, strands of hair, condensed together.

Zhang Acai quickly came up with a brand new towel, put the porcelain basin on the ground, and poured water into the kettle.

Wu Shan walked over and took the towel, and was about to test the temperature of the water, when Ah Cai said, "That, the water is hot water, and I poured it into the kettle." ”

He's really hard to call now, so he'll just get mixed up.

The water temperature is really just right, it seems that Zhang Yaowu, the nephew, is very meticulous in doing things.

"Child, stretch out your hand," Wu Shan said kindly, "Uncle will scrub you gently." ”

"Ah Cai," Wu Shan wiped his hands clean, and took out fifty yuan from his wallet: "Let's change the children inside and outside first, you look at it and buy it." ”

"Uncle, you can wash your sister first," the little boy was very clever, "and then wash me later." ”

"I haven't told the uncles yet, what are your names?" Wu Shan gently tugged the little girl's hand, which was slightly stiff because of nervousness, and scrubbed it carefully, trying to avoid those wounds.

Even so, water splashed into the wound from time to time.

"Hello uncles, my name is Tan Jinchun, and I am ten years old this year. This is my sister Tan Jinling, who is also ten years old. The little boy looked at his sister with pity.

Why is this name so familiar? Wu Shan pondered.

"It's evil," Zhang Yaowu familiarly went to get a new towel and scrubbed it for Xiao Jinchun.

His words brought Wushan back from his thoughts.

"Girl," Wu Shan pointed to the others and began to introduce: "This is your Uncle Tian, this is Uncle Zhang, and this is Uncle Lin." As for me, I'm your Uncle Wu. ”

Xiao Jinling didn't seem to understand, and Xiao Jinchun muttered softly to her in Hakka.

"Eh," Wu Shan patted his head, "Are you twins?" ”

"In itself, I've seen it before, a commune." Zhang Yaowu accosted on the side: "You don't know what to do? ”

"Where does he know?" Tian Guanghua smiled bitterly: "He only met the children's father last night." ”

The two local officials re-examined Wushan. I thought that this person had a backstage and was righteous. Unexpectedly, Wushan treated a person who met in Pingshui, and took care of his children after his death. This man is really worth taking refuge in!

Tan Jinchun raised his head and looked left and right, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of these people in his mind.

"My sister doesn't understand Mandarin very well," the little brother is really presentable: "She can't speak, she can only speak Hakka." ”

The hands and feet of the two children were scrubbed clean. They obediently hung their feet in the air. Zhang Yaowu went to find two pairs of old cloth shoes and let them pull them first.

"Let's go and eat the dishes as soon as they are hot," Zhang Yaowu said and prepared to go down: "It's cold early." ”

That's not it, winter dishes, in the south, are not heated like in the north, and they will be cold in a minute or two.

"Don't," Wu Shan shook his head: "Look at their appearance, they haven't eaten enough for a long time, and they haven't been stained with oil and water." Let the kitchen make porridge, just use rice, a little faster, the children are probably hungry. Dishes should also be as light as possible, preferably vegetarian. ”

The three adults and two children next to them all looked at Wushan, not knowing what was going on.

"They have been hungry for a long time, and their stomachs have long since shrunk. Suddenly, a dry meal will break them. If they eat meat dishes, they will definitely have diarrhea, and their stomachs will not be able to absorb them. Wu Shan had no choice but to explain this simple truth: "I have to send my brothers to Huacheng, raise them first, and then make up for them." ”

"Oh, you know so much, brother." Zhang Yaowu smiled dryly.

You don't think Wushan is stingy and reluctant to spend this money.

The two children stared at the food on the table and could hear them swallowing.

Ah Cai soon returned, carrying a full set of clothes for the brothers to change into with a baggage.

Indeed, this man was very attentive. He also bought purple potions and medicinal cotton.

This time, Tian Guanghua took matters into his own hands. His reasons are strong, because he has taken care of warriors and has experience.

Lao Tian is also a fierce man, regardless of it. He squeezed the frostbite on his brothers' hands and feet until the blood was squeezed out. Then, disinfect with purple syrup and dry with cotton wool.

"Brother Acai," Wushan looked at Zhang Acai, who was observing intently: "How many socks did they buy?" ”

"Yes, yes!" His head nodded straight: "Five pairs for one person." ”

"That's good," Wu Shan frowned and looked at the miserable situation of the brothers' hands and feet: "The first pair of socks must be thrown, maybe the second pair will be thrown." ”

"Don't throw it, Uncle Wu," Xiao Ah Chun's forehead hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't snort, and so did his sister.

He "hissed": "We can wash the socks ourselves." ”

The children of the poor are in charge of the house, pitiful, this pair of orphans without a father and mother.

"Don't you have any better clothes, child?" Wushan is very strange, his father earns a lot of money.

"The family's house was bulldozed by the people of the Xiang family. The furniture is also all divided. Good clothes are all worn by my aunt and her family. The child spoke eloquently, as if telling someone else's story: "Under the eaves of my aunt's house, she threw us a handful of straw and slept in it. These clothes are leftovers from the clothes worn by their little ones. It is not easy for my aunt to be able to give my sister and me an eaves. ”

Seeing the child so sensible, everyone couldn't help but be moved.

After eating at the restaurant, Lin Mingda led a group of people to the Public Security Bureau, because there were policewomen there who could help Xiao Jinling take a bath. For convenience, a master was called directly from the state-run barbershop, and the guys were brought in one step after the children had finished bathing.

After all, Zhang Yaowu is not the leader of the county party committee, and Lin Mingda can be said to be in the public security bureau to cover the sky with one hand, or it is convenient for him to be there.

This time, Old Man Lin, to be exact, is still very hostile to Wushan. Zhang Yaowu and Lin Mingda took turns to tell him, and Wushan and Tian Guanghua watched there boredly.

Although the old man has been passed out since he was a child, he still regards himself as the Zhang family. For Zhang Yaowu, it is completely his uncle's arrogance. After listening to their words, he sharply scolded the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. Fortunately, his residual power is still there, not to mention that his son is here again, no one in the Public Security Bureau dares to say anything, and he won't say anything.

Lao Tian quietly translated, he still knows a lot of Hakka. The old man said that Zhang Yaowu was too impulsive, and that everything was caused by himself, and he wanted Zhang Yaowu to take it as a warning. His nephew, right there, pecked at the rice, nodding his head constantly.

Several people stayed below for more than half an hour before arriving at the director's office.

Lin Mingda made tea himself.

In this era, after the autumn harvest and the payment of public grain, no matter which department is very idle.

Wu Shan had just raised the teacup to drink, and the two brothers had already come in with a new look.

The two children are very good-looking.

The little girl's hair had not yet dried, and at this time the hair dryer was not popular, so she had to rub it with a towel by herself.

Seeing the little boy's appearance, Wu Shan suddenly realized: "Your name is Tan Jinchun?" ”

"Yes, uncle," Xiao Ah Chun smiled sweetly at Wushan, and even omitted his surname: "My sister's name is Tan Jinling, don't forget it this time." ”

On his face, from the corner of his forehead to his ear, there was a striking scar, as hideous as a centipede.

Yes, that's them, Tan's double wall!
